perf(actions): debounce runner heartbeat writes and throttle task picks (#38281)

3 reductions in the DB load generated by many runners polling
`FetchTask`:

**1. Debounce runner heartbeat writes**
Every poll wrote `last_online`, and every `UpdateTask`/`UpdateLog` wrote
`last_active` — while a runner streams logs that is many writes per
second per runner. These are now persisted only when stale enough to
actually affect the active/offline status (`ShouldPersistLastOnline` /
`ShouldPersistLastActive`), using the existing columns.

**2. Throttle concurrent task picks**
A new in-process semaphore (`MAX_CONCURRENT_TASK_PICKS`) bounds how many
runners run the task-assignment transaction at once, so a fleet polling
together cannot stampede the query. Throttled polls retry on their next
poll without advancing the runner's tasks version.

**3. Paginate the task-pick query**
`CreateTaskForRunner` previously loaded every waiting job in the
runner's scope into memory on each poll (no `LIMIT`). Now it pages
through the waiting backlog oldest-first with `LIMIT`, claiming the
first label-matching job.
